Banning kratom is going to hurt all the people that use this miracle of a plant for all the right reasons for pain they don't want to ise big pharma's opiates. I use kratom daily it doesn't impede my motor skills or ability to function and it should most definitely not be banned or put on a national controlled substance list. Kratom had saved my life and so many others and if you think rationally alcohol and tobacco kill and contribute to an astronomical amount of deaths yet it remains legal and doesn't get talked about enough i just don't understand why you would want to ban something that is helping people it really blowsy mind. You guys think this stuff gets you high when that couldn't be further from the truth. I hope you change your decision and find it in your hearts to leave something as harmless as the kratom tea leaf be. An enormous amount of americans use this daily and find it helpful as an alternative to harmful opiates everyday be for the people i think the number of people who use this leaf daily speaks for itself. Have a wonderful day.
